<p>The serious question: Why are you studying what you are studying?</p>
<p>The rant: These days I wonder "why am I going to get this degree?" I don't imagine myself rich. I don't need so much money. I just enough to have a roof over my head in a decent neighborhood that doesn't need to be Beverly Hills. Perhaps to get a better job than if I didn't have one? But then I wonder do I really need an "intense" major and so much competition to get a job so I'm in the middle class? Do I really need to be a doctor, a lawyer, etc? Do I need a high paying job or can I just have one that I love?

<p>I’m studying what I’m studying because it is what I love. Going into a high paying career that you hate is pretty much just a guaranteed way of burning out and wasting a lot of money.</p>
<p>Do what interests you, but make sure it is something that will get you where you want to be in life. My passion was law, but after I realized the immense number of hours lawyers work weekly, the amount of schooling needed, and the cut-throat nature of the job, i realized that even though I’d want to do law i would not be happy with the lifestyle of the career. SO i did engineering! I love math <3</p>
<p>History’s cool. I find the readings to be interesting due to their everlasting relevance, and the papers are far easier to write than humanities papers, albeit generally longer. I honestly have no idea what I want to do as a career so the History major path (or lack thereof) seems to fit.</p>
<p>I’d rather have both money and a job to love. Sorry, but I’m a materialistic whore that wants nice things Unfortunately it kinda sorta requires currency to acquire these things.</p>
<p>i think you don’t know the perfect value of education in life…if you are a well educated then you will get a lot of respects from the society…you can open a wide range of job opportunities…and you can attain a better future life and also you can maintain a better families also…so think well…these all happiness will get only from a better education…and academic degree…:)</p>
<p>I’m studying what I’m studying and keeping up a decent GPA because if I don’t, I’ll get pummeled by my parents. Since I still kind of depend on them, I gotta study… a bunch of crap</p>
<p>I work hard in school so I can transfer to a good four year. From there, I’ll work hard to get into a good grad school…besides the fact that tuition isn’t cheap and my parents are paying for it, when they could be spending the money on themselves instead. I don’t want them to feel like they’re wasting their money.</p>
<p>The funny thing is you don’t. There is never any joy in wanting to reach a goal if it’s going to be many years until you reach it. You should try setting a goal each day that you’ll accomplish by midnight. It keeps college more interested and trust me when I say this. You will gain a lot more joy if you try and fail or succeed now than you waiting a long time to succeed or fail. </p>
<p>I’m studying what I’m studying because I enjoy learning about East Asian cultures and languages, I’m bad at math and science so anything that deals with those two subjects is a no from me, I don’t have a desire for being rich and would be happy just living in a decent one-story house and being able to pay my bills on time.</p>
Unfortunately it kinda sorta requires currency to acquire these things.</p>
